Tuthilltown Spirits part of Manhattan Cocktail Classic

Tuthilltown Spirits of Gardiner will be one of the featured spirits at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic, a multi-day celebration of cocktails and culture that will kick off at the New York Public Library May 17.

The event, set for May 17-21, is part of Taste-NY, an economic development, jobs creation and tourism initiative launched by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in part to promote craft distilleries in New York state.

The partnership will enable two dozen spirits producers from across the Empire State to pour their handcrafted spirits at the black-tie cocktail event that attracts more than 3,000 people.

The Manhattan Cocktail Classic is an annual celebration of the cocktails and culture. With nearly 100 events spread across five days and three boroughs, the Classic offers an array of experiences to enthusiasts and professionals alike.
